An 18-year-old man was due to appear in Hamilton District Court this morning following the stabbing of two teenagers in Hamilton yesterday morning.

His court appearance follows an incident in Fairfield's Marshall St early Sunday morning where two males, aged 16- and 18-years-old, left a party and were walking down an alleyway, Hamilton acting crime manager Detective Senior Sergeant Nigel Keall said.

"They were confronted by an 18-year-old offender in the alleyway and the 18-year-old victim suffered defensive wounds to one of his hands while the 16-year-old suffered a serious stab wound to his chest."

Sporadic disorder had been reported in the area in the hours prior to the attack, and a knife believed to have been used in the incident had been recovered, but police were not ruling out the possibility of other weapons being involved.
